I use the following approach with iscan: put SANE customisations to ltmain.sh in a diff (ltmain.sh.diff) remove ltmain.sh (and libtool) from CVS (if they are in CVS) use a script to "bootstrap" a clean checkout apply the patch as part of the bootstrap This works fine for iscan on a variety of Linux distributions and versions. The worst I've seen is a little "complaint" from patch that the diff applied with a non-zero fuzz factor.
